The UFC revealed on Wednesday afternoon that the co-main event for
UFC
Fight Night 97 next month in the Philippines will feature the
big boys of the sport.

Surging heavyweight contender Derrick
Lewis will lock horns with Marcin
Tybura in the co-feature of the event, which takes on Oct. 15
at SM Mall of Asia Arena in Manila, Philippines. Headlining the
marquee will be former UFC lightweight and welterweight champion
B.J. Penn
as he returns to action against former featherweight title
challenger Ricardo
Lamas. UFC Fight Night 97 will stream entirely on UFC Fight
Pass.

Lewis has been on a tear lately, having won his last four bouts.
After torching three straight opponents, Lewis scored the biggest
win of his career when he edged fan-favorite Roy Nelson
via split decision at UFC Fight Night 90 in July.

Poland’s Tybura began his pro career 12-0 but he has faltered as of
late, posting a 3-2 mark in his last five Octagon appearances.
“Tybur” is coming off a sensational performance on Aug. 6 when he
flattened Viktor
Pesta with a brutal head kick in the second at UFC Fight Night
92.
